Super Estrelas Looney Tunes: Daffy Duck, Pato Frustrado
Director
Uma colecção de cartoons onde eu sou a super estrela? Eu, o Daffy Duck? Que ideia maravilhosa! Ainda bem que me lembrei disto! Bem-vindos, fãs dos desenhos animados, ao mundo do famosos pato com esta selecção de divertidas curtas-metragens, onde a diversão se sente como pato na água, todas elas inéditas e editadas em DVD pela primeira vez. Por isso, não, provavelmente nunca as terão visto. E, sim, definitivamente deverão vê-las. Vai partir o bico de tanto rir com estas 15 histórias que retratam a evolução do pato e que apresentam Daffy Duck como um animal doméstico de difícil trato (Patotices), um caçador de peles trapalhão (Pato Caçado), um decorador de interiores atabalhoado (Máquinas Loucas), um agitado futuro papá (O Ovo da Discórdia) entre muitos outros. Cada uma delas é uma pena no seu chapéu, por assim dizer. Desfrutem!
Daffy Duck Frustrated Fowl
Director
Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl was released in conjunction with Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire None of these shorts have been released on disc before, and Chuck Jones's "Daffy Dilly" (1948) is a welcome addition to any cartoon library. Daffy sets out to win the money a gloomy millionaire is offering to anyone who can make him laugh--and succeeds in spite of himself. But many of these cartoons are, simply, duds. "This Is a Life?" (1955), "People Are Bunny" (1959), and "Person to Bunny" (1960) spoof largely forgotten TV shows. How many viewers under 65 will recognize caricatures of Art Linkletter and Edward R. Murrow? The films pitting Daffy against Bugs play like weak remakes of Jones's "Rabbit Fire" trilogy or Friz Freleng's "Show Biz Bugs"--"Person to Bunny" even repeats some of Daffy's tap dance to "Jeepers Creepers" in "Show Biz." The very late "Suppressed Duck" (1965) is painfully unfunny. Once again, some of the films have been inexplicably cropped to simulate a widescreen format.
